Stratospheric Ozone Chemistry and Polar Stratospheric Clouds

- under construction! -

In this example a simulation with only stratospheric (simplified) ozone chemistry is performed, also polar stratospheric clouds are taken into account. The tutorial teaches you...

the implementation of stratospheric specific chemistry (here on thee example of ozone)
applying linearized ozone chemistry (LINOZ) in a simulation
the implementation of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs)

No emission data will be included in this simulation.

Configuration case

Stratospheric ozone with linearized ozone chemistry (LINOZ)

On the one hand the depicted case is dealing with simulating stratospheric ozone which is calculated with a linearized ozone chemistry (LINOZ). Here a linearized version of the differential equation for production or depletion like ${\frac {\mathrm {d} c_{i}}{\mathrm {d} t}}=P_{i}-{\frac {c_{i}}{\tau _{i}}}$ is used. After calculating the Taylor expansion of first order the computed ozone concentrations are then anomalies from temperature and ozone column climatologies. This LINOZ chemistry is applied in heights of 10km and higher. Below that height the lifetime of ozone is set to constant 28 days so a constant climatology is applied. Without including LINOZ at this point, a complete ozone chemistry must be included in the simulation what would result in higher computational effort.

Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSCs)

Further, the simulation of polar stratospheric clouds (PSC), are also considered. Polar stratospheric clouds are forming under very cold conditions in the antarctic region during the south hemispheric winter. These cold conditions are reached due to the underlying orographic conditions in Antarctica and a resulting very strong and stable polar vortex. In May or June the temperature is normally low enough to form polar stratospheric clouds. Then the reaction

${\ce {ClNO3 + HCl -> Cl2 + HNO3}}$

is effektively producing high ${\ce {HNO3}}$ concentrations in the stratosphere resulting in a formation of ${\ce {HNO3*H20}}$ phases, identifying as polar stratospheric clouds. The educts are existing due to the regular ${\ce {ClOx}}$ family reactions (see e.g. Dameris et al., 2007). Later ion the year, when more light reaches Antarctica, the ${\ce {Cl2}}$ product can then be photolysed and finally, due to the ${\ce {ClOx}}$ cycle, Ozone can be depleted:

${\ce {Cl2 + hv -> 2Cl}}$

${\ce {Cl + O3 -> ClO + O2}}$

That's also why the ozone hole has formed: The more chlorofluorocarbons are emitted, the more ${\ce {ClNO3}}$ as well as ${\ce {HCl}}$ are produced and the more ozone can be depleted. In this simulation, PSCs are considered to calculate the stratospheric ozone concentration but not to simulate the clouds itself.

Setting up the Runscript

Let's start with the runscript that has to be prepared. Please note that the in the following explained parts have to be printed in one runscript-file with the naming designation "xyz.run". Here it is named exp.testsuite.strat_ozone_linoz_psc.run but of course you can call it differently as well. The runscript can be stored under the following path in your icon directory: /icon-kit/run

If you've already walked through the example of the Simplified Chemistry, you can use nearly the same runscript. Note that you have to change the paths from Part 1, the timing settings from Part 2, the output variables from Part 3, the emission settings as well as the path of the chemtracer-xml-file in the ART-settings from Part 4 and finally the timing in the job settings from Part 5. Details can be found below.

Inside of that, first check in part 1 that all your paths to your directories are correct, probably they have to be adjusted. Note that "hp8526" is a name of a specific account here, make sure to double check especially these lines. Abbreviations used here are the following:

CENTER: Your organization
EXPNAME: name of your ICON-Simulation
OUTDIR: Directory where the simulation output will be stored
ARTFOLDER: Directory where the ICON-ART code is stored
INDIR: Directory where the necessary Input data are stored
EXP:
lart: For ICON-ART Simulation that has to be switched to .True..

Additionally in the next lines of code you set the timing. In this simulation we simulate one week (01 October 2012 until 07 October 2012). To really catch all day times and so the time dependent solar radiation, the output interval is set to 10 hours to calculate ${\ce {O3}}$ to every time of the day. Because of the Photolysis dependency of ${\ce {O3}}$ this is particularly important.

Further, all the namelist parameters (from the regular ICON model without ART-extension) have to be set. For a regular ICON-ART-Simulation the following settings are recommended - if not stated differently. For a detailed description, check out the ICON Documentation (Drill et. al. (2019)).

Since we make use of LINOZ, in the radiation namelist section &radiation_nml the namelist parameter irad_o3 has to be set to 10:

Please note in the last namelist section "output_nml" that you can set all output variables that you need to postprocess your data later. All assigned variables here will be written in the output netCDF-files as well. To learn more about post processing your data, check out a later chapter of this article or the Postprocessing article.

Now, we're getting to the ICON-ART settings. To enable chemistry in an ICON-ART Simulation inn general, the switch lart_chem has to be set to .TRUE.. With lart_diag_out output of the diagnostic fields can be enabled. Due to setting lart_chem=.TRUE. either lart_chemtracer or lart_mecca has to be set to .TRUE.. Because we want to perform a simulation with simplified chemistry, we have to switch on lart_chemtracer. If this namelist parameter is set to .TRUE., also cart_chemtracer_xml has to be fulfilled. Here you enter the path of your xml-file which describes the tracers occurring and their properties in the simulation, which is only ${\ce {O3}}$ in this case. How to create this xml-file is explained in the next chapter. Since PSCs shall be considered, the lart_psc switch has to be set to .TRUE.. Please also note the extra information that have to be given for ${\ce {O3}}$ in the xml-file that PSCs are considered correctly (see next chapter). An example configuration for this part is shown in the following:

Setting up the xml-file

An xml-file describes the chemical components of the simulation which means that all trace gases or aerosols and their properties, that are relevant for the simulation, are listed here. Since we perform a simulation with simplified and linearized ozone chemistry, we need the matching chemtracer-xml-file where only ${\ce {O3}}$ is mentioned. Because of no specific other settings (e.g. emissions), this is the only xml-file needed here.

To prepare the xml-file we can select the matching species from the general previously generated xml-file standard_chemtracer.xml.

After identifying the needed chemtracers (in our case only ${\ce {O3}}$ (in xml-file: TRO3) we copy the needed code lines into our new xml-file chemtracer_ozone_psc.xml needed for the simulation. Additionally we add the three namelist parameter polarchem, Thet and lt_het as noted below. Also double check that the c_solve parameter is set to linoz to really mark that this Ozone tracer has to be computed with LINOZ chemistry and that the transport parameter is not set to stdaero but to hadv52aero which improves the accuracy in several cases.

Running the simulation

Double check all filled in paths and namelist - especially the ART-namelists. If every namelist parameter in the runscript is filled in correctly, the runscript has to be saved. Afterwards by typing

./exp.testsuite.strat_ozone_linoz_psc.run

a job can be submitted to the respective HPC-System. Type the terminal command

squeue

to view a list of your submitted and currently running and jobs. By changing in the output directory (which is according to our runscript /hkfs/work/workspace/scratch/hp8526-liftime_tracer_test you can check the slurm file for possible errors and run times after your job has been run through.

In the output directory you can also find all output data for postprocessing in netCDF format.
